Releasing holds by using the ARSDOC command

When you no longer want to retain a document, you must release the hold on that document by using the ARSDOC HOLD_RELEASE command. You can specify the parameters at the command line or through a parameter file.

About this task

To release holds by using the ARSDOC HOLD_RELEASE command, see the Description and syntax topic for the HOLD_RELEASE function of the ARSDOC command in the IBM Content Manager OnDemand: Administration Guide for your platform.
Remember: If you are running this command on IBM i, run the command in QSHELL.

If a duplicate attempt is made to remove the same documents from a hold, no error occurs, and the ARSDOC command displays a success message. However, the system log might contain messages that indicate that the documents were already released.

Results

You can verify the results by doing any of the following tasks:
  • Review the system log.
  • Start the OnDemand Client, search for the hold, and verify that the documents were released.
